One of its main goals is to differentiate from others engineering universities in the country. Every year there is more excitement and interest for I&E. However, it is not even close to what we consider necessary. The heart of innovation in UTEC is the accelerator helping startups finance their ideas. We need this body to interact, teach and even be used by students to start their own. To encourage this we must develop student’s interest in I&E and build creative confidence. </p>
